No, they didn't. Some of the Branson Stars did a telethon thing and Mark Chapman Band did a song that 100% of the money made on iTunes went to help. But no big rock star, then again I was in a tent in the back of a church crying for a long time so I might have missed it.
Add= Obama did come. He said he would get more help for us. But, the sad part of Joplin is that it is ran by Republicans and you see at that time 2-3 of the council member of Joplin had big construction businesses.
